Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly to an ultra-small connector for connecting a burnt printed substrate (hereinafter referred to as "FPC"). [Prior Art] As a connector, for example, a temporary holding mechanism is provided which can provide a plugging feeling and improve connection workability when the F P C is inserted into the connector (see Patent Document 1). Therefore, as shown in Fig. 8, Fig. 9, and Fig. 12, when the FPC is inserted into the connector, a predetermined insertion feeling can be obtained and can be temporarily held. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above connector, since the inner beam portion 83 of the nail 81 is only moved up and down Therefore, it is not easy to visually judge whether or not the FPC has been correctly positioned when the FPC is inserted into the connector. In particular, in recent years, it has been desired to further miniaturize the connector, for example, in a shape having a width of 5 mm, a depth of 3 mm, and a height of 1 mm, it is difficult to judge whether or not the connector having a plurality of connecting portions is The problem point that caused the possibility of a wrong connection to become high has been correctly located. -4- 201212413 The connector of the present invention has a problem in view of the above problems, and provides a connector which ensures the insertion feeling of the FPC and can be temporarily held, and which can more easily confirm the correct positioning. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the connector of the present invention has a configuration in which the susceptor has an opening on the front surface of the front end of the flexible printed circuit board, and is provided at a predetermined pitch. a plurality of insertion holes penetrating from the front surface to the back surface, and a fitting recess is provided on the upper surface; the connection terminal is pressed into the insertion hole of the base from the side; and the supporting metal member is assembled from above a fitting recess for the pedestal, having an elastic temporary holding portion engageable with a temporary holding slit portion provided at both side edges of the front end portion of the flexible printed circuit board; and an operating lever to be provided at both end portions The rotating shaft portion is supported to be rotatable at a bearing portion of the supporting metal member, and drives the connecting terminal; the operating lever is rotated and the connecting terminal is operated to electrically connect the connecting terminal to the flexible printing The front end portion of the substrate is formed by a fitting recess provided on the upper surface of the base, and the elastic temporary holding portion of the supporting metal member that is elastically engaged with the temporary holding slit portion of the flexible printed circuit board is visually recognized. According to the present invention, an operational tactile sensation can be obtained and can be temporarily held, and the elastic temporary holding portion of the supporting metal member can be visually observed from above the susceptor. Therefore, in the case where the elastic temporary holding portion is not correctly engaged with the slit portion of the flexible printed circuit board for the temporary holding -5 - 201212413, since the elastic temporary holding is not at a predetermined position, it can be prevented in advance. The connection is made erroneously, so that a connector having high connection reliability and high connection workability can be obtained.
